Yanchang Zhongke (Dalian) Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as: Yanchang Zhongke) is a joint-stock high-tech enterprise jointly funded by the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum (Group) Co., Ltd., established in January 2017. The registered capital is 178.9 million yuan. The company's headquarters is located in the High-tech Industrial Park of Dalian City, Liaoning Province. Yanchang Zhongke Company has undertaken the patented technology of syngas to anhydrous ethanol process, and its current main business positioning is to build the world's first comprehensive service provider of coal-based ethanol process technology and core patented products, and carry out patent licensing and promotion of syngas to anhydrous ethanol process packages and the production and sales of supporting catalyst products. The scientific research team led by Academician Liu Zhongmin of Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics carried out research and development work on "key catalysts for coal-based ethanol technology" in 2010, and achieved a breakthrough in the activity and life of the key dimethyl ether carbonylation catalyst in 2013. In 2014, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics and Yanchang Petroleum launched the "100,000 tons/year synthesis gas to ethanol industrial demonstration" project. On January 11, 2017, Yanchang Petroleum’s 100,000 tons/year syngas-to-ethanol plant successfully completed the entire process and produced qualified anhydrous ethanol with a product purity of 99.71%. This marks the successful start-up of the world's first industrial demonstration project for carbonylation of coal to ethanol via dimethyl ether.

On April 12, 2017, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics and Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum (Group) Co., Ltd. held a launching ceremony for the "Industrialization of Yanchang Zhongke (Dalian) Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and Methanol (Dimethyl Ether) to Anhydrous Ethanol Technology". Yanchang Xinghua Group and Yanchang Zhongke Company signed a 500,000 tons/year coal-based ethanol technology transfer framework agreement.
On February 21, 2019, the basic design signing ceremony and opening of the 500,000 tons/year coal-based ethanol project of Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum Yushen Energy and Chemical Co., Ltd. was held. The Yushen 500,000 tons/year ethanol project was jointly won by the basic design team of Yanchang Beijing Engineering Company and Aerospace Engineering Company. The project is located in the southern area of Qingshui Industrial Park, Yushen Industrial Zone, Yulin City. The project uses raw coal from Xiwan Coal Mine as raw material and produces 500,000 tons/year of fuel ethanol products through coal gasification equipment, syngas purification equipment, gas separation equipment, methanol equipment, ethanol equipment and other units.
